Lewandowsky's 'downfall'

Bishop Hill notes:

Geoff Chambers points me to the (almost inevitable) “Downfall” video to accompany Stephan Lewandowsky’s recent (Fury paper retraction) demise. Enjoy.

You know you have hit the big time when you get parodied with the downfall snip! LOL

The best yet! I bet that is what their meeting was like. The war is lost. It’s just not over yet.

So very close to the truth and funny.

Braced myself for an actual video of Lew., was relieved and finally laughing out loud by the end. Thanks.

When confronted by zealots who argue white is now black, humour is probably the best response – well done!

“They’ll even make one of those stupid Hitler videos about me.”
Whahahahaha! The “Hitler rant” videos are among my favorites on Youtube.

Best Hitler video yet. Seen many of them, but I was laughing out loud at this one. Congrats!

One of the best ‘downfalls’ I’ve seen.
Though I have to say that the movie cast are much better looking than those being parodied.

Love the Downfall parodies. The movie itself is a master piece.
A lot of the cleverness in the parodies comes from how the author uses the canned action to make subtle jokes. Which lead to my one minor critique : at the point where our protagonist says “Everyone leave the room except Cook, Nuccitelli, Oberauer and Marriott” I think that should be more like “Everyone who no longer believes in AGW leave the room”.

[Note: “pyromancer76” is “beckleybud” and “H Grouse”. He is the same sockpuppet. Banned multiple times. ~mod.]

Funneee … well done. ☺ Thanks.
Who is Elaine?

Maybe he’ll do a paper about the video?

Hitler accusing others of being deniers is doubly ironic.

He could call it “Refluxive Furry”.
(Think “hairball”.)

Not exactly the perfect thread to respond with this link. This essay from Randall Carlson reminds me of the “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus” reply, but in response to a reader’s questions regarding climate change.

“…Elaine McKewon, one of the peer-reviewers for Recursive Fury…”

Maybe she was the student expert reviewer of the Lew paper?

Or Elaine could have been Naomi Oreskes.

Note how “Stalin” is synched to the subtitled “Koch brothers”. Almost as good as working an actual reference to Stalin into unrelated title content.

Bishop Hill forgot to add the /sarc tag to the video.
(But then again, who knows?)

Sehr urkomisch. Geil !
Just glad it was a stand-in. I could not stomach seeing another real video of Lew’s face.
